The message was delivered on Sunday, February 15, 2026, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Nicole Kirk, Program Minister. Description: What happens when a premature infant stops breathing and a world-renowned doctor declares he sees a "wise soul"? This moment sparked a 25-year contemplation on what the soul truly is—not something to be saved or damned, but our creative energy, our meaning-making force, our freedom itself. In 1932, creditors raided Gee's Bend, Alabama, seizing everything from one of America's most impoverished Black communities. Yet the women there transformed worn clothes and flour sacks into bold, geometrical quilts that warmed their homes and sustained their spirits. When Martin Luther King Jr. arrived in 1965 to find zero registered Black voters in a county that was 80% African American, these same women—hands trained at creating beauty from scraps—marched to the courthouse through tear gas and smoke bombs. Their quilts later appeared in the Sears catalog, in museums nationwide, and two mules from Gee's Bend pulled King's casket in 1968.The women had founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, turning their art into fuel for the civil rights movement. They proved a fierce truth: authorities can close the ferry, block the courthouse, make the road longer and harder—but they cannot stop hands and hearts from creating something beautiful and meaningful. Mary Oliver asked if the soul is solid like iron or tender like a moth. Perhaps it's both—tender and strong as hands that stitch something new. In times when freedoms we thought enshrined are disappearing, when the temptation is to shut down and go numb, the question becomes urgent: How is it with your soul? What are you making?

The message was delivered on Sunday, December 21, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister Description: What happens when you've been walking through the valley of shadow for so long that you can only see far enough to place one foot in front of the other? On the darkest day of the year, discover why ancient peoples understood darkness not as emptiness, but as the fertile dark—a womb leading to new life, where all beginnings take root before emerging into light. When an 85-year-old widower faced an agonizing medical decision, something extraordinary happened in his living room that changed everything about how he understood his life's value. Can the natural cycles spinning around us—the earth, the atoms, even the very particles of existence—teach us that no descent is permanent, and that hope returns as surely as tomorrow's sunrise?

The message was delivered on Sunday, December 7, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. Description: What if the Divine made mistakes? From Eden's miscalculation to Noah's devastating flood, journey through a startling reimagining of ancient stories where an all-powerful creator grapples with the messy consequences of wielding absolute authority. Watch as cosmic power confronts its own limitations through Job's unanswerable questions and Abraham's bold negotiations, leading to a revelation that challenges everything: some truths can only be learned by becoming mortal. The answer to divinity's greatest limitation arrives not in thunder from above, but in the vulnerability of a newborn child—and it changes where we must look to find the sacred.

The message was delivered on Sunday, November 30, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Chaplain Devin Moss, Guest Speaker. Description: What does it mean when a Humanist chaplain becomes the last person a death-row inmate chooses to face the end with? What kind of connection forms when belief isn't shared, but mortality is? In that charged space, compassion stops being gentle. It turns into something unmistakably real. About the Speaker: Devin Moss is a Humanist Chaplain and Webby Award-winning storyteller unwavering in his pursuit to relate stories that connect us to our humanity. A natural explorer, he uses playful inquisition to examine the complexity of the human condition and the intrinsic meaning of life. Moss maintains an interdisciplinary practice of storytelling, street philosophy, and practical altruism. In 2015, Moss created The Adventures of Memento Mori podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-adventures-of-memento-mori/id1061189831). The consequence of this deep meditation on impermanence was life-changing. Uncertain of what happens after we die, Moss has dedicated his life to the positive changes that can happen while we're still alive.

The message was delivered on Sunday, November 9, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Randy Lewis, Assistant Minister. Description: We live in an age of quick clicks and easy exits—where "I agree" means "I didn't read it." But what if the same carelessness that seeps into our choices begins to hollow out our character? What if the promises we keep—or fail to keep—are the hidden fine print of who we really are? Dare to slow down, read what we've signed with our lives, and rediscover the power of meaning what we say, even when it costs something. When words lose their weight, covenant becomes rebellion.

I teach that you may go beyond the visible empirical and develop your leadership in a learning system where you learn to channel light. You enter a whole new realm of limitless possibilities, the infinite within you. You create the path through your word into the eternal dimensionless consciousness of pure unconditional love, becoming again what you originallty were before time existed. When you're ready to go beyond the security blanket of a religion, beyond the training wheels of a church, beyond your stories and images of a God, to become a student of Unconditional Love teaching you directly, I have a school of creation, leadership, and light.

One of the strategic goals of Southridge this coming year is to expand its capacity for "Love Beyond Belief", especially as it relates to the inclusion of the LGBTQ+ community. But what, practically speaking, does that mean? Hear our Spiritual Practices Pastor, Mandy Kasper, join in the conversation and talk about next steps.

Today Ontario has removed the mask mandate for most public spaces in the province.... it's a decision that has some rejoicing and has some feeling even more cautious. As we at Southridge move into a "mask optional" mindset, Jeff sits down with our Family Ministry Pastor, Carrie Jones, to talk about what that practically looks like, how we can live out Love Beyond Belief in this season, and how this conversation fits into the larger picture of how everyone is doing these days.

In this episode, Danielle invites Will Rucker to the conversation. Today, they talk about the power of love, enlightenment, awakening, and why we are all one. Will shares his perspective on racism in our country, and why getting to the root of racism is more important than just diagnosing the symptoms. The conversation continues with discussions about the “eye for an eye” culture that we are still living in and why our violent language is contributing to division. Love is an action and a feeling, if it’s not both, it’s not love. Once in a generation, a voice emerges that revolutionizes the world as we know it. Will Rucker is this generation's voice. As a voice of clarity in the midst of confusion and a light shining through cloudiness, Will "the Voice" Rucker offers the hope of love to a world in need.Will brings together all faiths and all people, welcoming them into an experience with Divine Love which brings about radical transformation. During his Sunday Gatherings, classes, events and activities, he strives to awaken the love that dwells within us all.Based on the teachings of Jesus and other revolutionary prophets; Will helps people of all backgrounds to release old thoughts and behavior patterns and open up to a new way of being created by "Love Beyond Belief".You can connect with Will Rucker on social media or by visiting https://winningwithwill.com 

With so many conflicting opinions, values, and philosophies, sometimes it seems like we're in a war of acceptance versus agreement, truth versus grace, and love versus belief. But can anyone really win? Where is Jesus in it all? What does it mean to love beyond belief?

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, September 6, 2015, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION Summer 2015 has been filled with news and events that could deem it “The American Summer of Discontent.” Christian business owners, and government employees, who do not want to serve gay and lesbian couples and families have been sounding the alarms of discrimination. Race has continued to divide our nation’s people from the Confederate Flag controversy to the Black Lives Matter campaigns and repeated stories alleging race-related police misconduct. Donald Trump has been stirring anti-immigrant sentiments. More mass shootings in churches and movie theaters have pitted those who want gun control against those who are adamant about gun rights. Members of All Souls might wonder, “What does our affirmation of ‘Love Beyond Belief’ call us to do and be in such times?” SUBSCRIBE TO AUDIO PODCAST: VIEW ON YOUTUBE: SUBSCRIBE TO WATCH OTHER VIDEOS: GIVE A DONATION TO HELP US SPREAD THIS LOVE BEYOND BELIEF: LET'S CONNECT: Facebook: Twitter: All Souls Church Website:

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, August 9, 2015, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. SERMON DESCRIPTION In his poem Like The Water, Wendell Berry writes: Like the waterof a deep stream,love is always too much. We did not make it.Though we drink till we burst,we cannot have it all,or want it all. In its abundanceit survives our thirst....we keep returning to its rich watersthirsty. We enter,willing to die,into the commonwealth of its joy. This Sunday we are holding one combined Sunday service at 10:30 a.m. instead of our usual three services. Occasionally, we do this to bring our community together across our differences to feel our deep and authentic unity in a Love Beyond Belief. Water and thirst unite us no matter who we are or what we believe. Water will be the theme of the day. We will also have lots of fun games and activities involving water for children and people of all ages throughout the morning.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, June 14, 2015, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister, with Steven Leigh Williams, Candidate for Ministry. SERMON DESCRIPTION Some of the biggest news of the season has been Bruce Jenner’s transition to Caitlyn Jenner. The media has been having a frenzy covering this high profile transition. I want to look at it through the lens of Love Beyond Belief and what it means to love someone through such a life-changing period. There is a lot more than the media is talking about that we can learn from this situation that applies to the issue of gender and transgender people and other transitions in our lives. Joining me in the pulpit will be Steven Leigh Williams who was born, dedicated and raised at All Souls in Tulsa and is a candidate for the Unitarian Universalist ministry and will speak from his own experience of gender transition. Steven just completed a year as the student minister of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Bartlesville, OK.
